Loren Ridinger — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:19:11 +0000

Wedding season is upon us and I’ve gotten a number of emails and tweets about what to wear to an outdoor summer wedding. Number 1 concern? Heels that dig into the grass! I’ve put together two great options – one for a casual and/or destination wedding and the second would work for an evening and/or fancier event. Oh, and wedges take care of that pesky grass problem :)

Steal This Look: Lauren Conrad

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:40:01 +0000

Lauren Conrad was at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday to launch her new “Got Milk” campaign – and she looked extremely cute in a matchy-matchy navy jumpsuit. This outfit is another perfect example of how to wear the new skinny belt (which I wrote about yesterday)!

All you need are 2 nude items and 1 navy to steal this look :) Read on for my suggestions…

Shopbop, Karina Grimaldi Genie Jumpsuit $144.90

Bluefly, Tahari Luggage Leather Inlay Skinny Belt $23

Target, Merona Elliana Wedge Sandal $24.99

Yay or nay? I think this is a great way to wear a jumpsuit! Sometimes, they can be quite hard to pull off.

Lots of love,

Loren

Steal This Look: Peter Facinelli

Loren Ridinger — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:00:04 +0000

Peter Facinelli, whom you probably recognize from the Twilight series, looked super casual while making his way around London the other day. His outfit has a clean-cut silhouette with a little bad boy mixed in from the carefully selected accessories – both the aviators and leather jacket put a sexy spin on it.

I have put together a ‘look for less’ for my male readers… follow this super simple formula and you will definitely score some points in the style department!

Guess Deacon $90

Target, Converse One Star White Henley $17.99

Bluefly, Monarchy Consto Semper zip jacket $105

Gap Boot Fit Jeans Indigo Wash $54.50

Macy’s, Sperry Top-Siders Striper CVO Sneakers $60

Sometimes less is more, right? These basics came together for one perfect look – and can be worn over and over again!

Here are a few of my favorite maxi dresses, in its many iterations.

Deconstructed Preppy:

Bluefly, Alex Lane Navy Tee Maxi Dress $83.30
